New Tacoma owner!

The truck remained stock for a long time until I decided it was time to refresh the the look. New headlights and a 2011 style "Honeycomb" grill.



After that I started thinking about color matching things and repainting others. I repainted the passenger flares because they were faded and got the grill and mirrors painted as well. I had got backed into and lucky me, they ran. So I got a new bumper cover and had it done too.


The colors didnt quite match because he didnt blend the paint. Not his fault, I took the parts off and took them to him. He had never seen the truck and I honestly didnt know what factory red pearl looked like so I didnt know the body was that faded. But I ran with it.



Thats how it sat for about a year. Then I came across a deal I couldnt pass up. After girlfriend approval we made a trip and bought a 3" OME lift, Dakar springs, 887 coils, Light racing UCAs and 18x9 XD Badlands with 33" Firestone MTs. It was used but barely. I met a great group of guys (all taco guys) and they went to town on the truck installing the lift and everything. I drove in stock, Rolled out lifted. After that I felt like I had a whole new truck. I had my last truck lifted and 35s put on and I forgot the feeling of seeing your little stock truck turn into something completely different.



Here was the end result.




The fun didnt stop there. about a week after the lift was put on I came across something I had wanted since I got the truck. An OEM TRD Sport hood!



It had some dents and was black but I got up with the same paint guy that did my stuff previously and he said it was no problem. I was smart this time and he blended the paint and it matches almost perfectly. I also had him re do the stuff from last time so now the truck is all one color again and now it looks like a 2011 TRD Sport lol. I also had to order the insert that goes inside of the scoop. It came in the black mica color and I decided to leave it black and I love that look.




And thats where she sits now! Heres some other photos I took.

 

Where did you get those headlights from?
